Fuel Injector Cleaning Service

Honda Fuel Injector Cleaning in Anderson, IN

Fuel injectors play a crucial role in keeping your car running. They get fuel into the engine. Acting much like a spray bottle, they dispense gasoline into the combustion chamber so the gas can mix with air before igniting. This constant ignition is what keeps the engine moving and ultimately the wheels rolling. A problem arises when the fuel injector gets dirty and clogged, causing the engine to struggle to run smoothly.

How Fuel Injectors Become Clogged

Injector clogs can be traced back to several naturally occurring conditions including:

Vaporization and Condensation: Each time the engine is shut down, any fuel left in the combustion chamber remains there, only to vaporize as the engine cools down. This vaporized gas then settles on every one of its surfaces, including the fuel injector nozzles. Given enough time, the resulting residue will compromise the amount of fuel the injectors can deliver to the engine.

Debris: This can come from the gasoline, or even the fuel system itself. Dirty gas used to be the main culprit in the past. However, this is much less common today since most gas stations supply high-quality gasoline. Still, impurities can find their way into the tanks and on to the fuel system. Yes, we have fuel filters. But they do not catch every bit.

Water: Another spoiler is water that finds its way into the fuel system. When this happens, the linings and filters meant to prevent debris can become corroded. This corrosion can result in debris becoming trapped and jammed in the injectors.

Possible Services for Fuel Injector Cleaning

In the case of simple debris in the injectors, the factory-trained and certified Honda technicians at Tom Wood Honda in Anderson can flush the fuel injectors, thereby restoring their performance. However, in cases where the debris becomes caked or baked-on, the best solution is a full ultrasonic cleaning. Unfortunately, if the injectors are particularly worn out or of poor quality, a fuel injector replacement may be the best answer.
